Does her new tongue piercing photo mean it’s really hers and real?

i know this girl through her work , she is a cashier at a business i go to , don't follow her on social media but do know some of the other people who work there and did notice her page before but its private so couldn't see it but she changed her profile pic and now it shows her tongue sticking out and its pierced with a silver barbel.

a part of me wondered if its like ai generated or photo generated but she does have a nose piercing as i've seen that before when i was at cash with her so does seem like she has an interest in piercings.

but she's like really young and also really good looking for her age , her personality can be a bit off but she seems ok and i just really can't wrap my mind around the idea of her having a tongue piercing at her age and in our small town it seems a bit crazy really although i suppose other girls did it do when younger. i never put any though into the idea of her being sexually active when i'd see her at cash but now i wonder if she is?

but the picture seems real and can't see why anyone would post it unless it was really them right?

found some new pics of her online and can say for sure that she really does have this piercing and that the pics i saw are of the same girl i meet at store and was a cashier but never noticed she had one when i was seeing her inperson despite fact she was rate infront of me at cash , so no mystery just the odd feeling in mind that perhaps she's not the girl i though she was , but still think she is a cool girl and such

saw her at work , didn't really talk to her but talked to one of her co workers , when i was at cash she was the cashier and i sensed deception like she even kept her mouth closed and barely talked like why do that unless your trying to hide something from me , so she's hiding her tongue piercing , i guess sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction and she really did do this
